Ophelia Beatrix
Mungo Jeffrey

What do you think? The middle names are family names.

GivePeasAChance · 29/07/2009 23:32

Funny

TrillianAstra · 29/07/2009 23:35

I prefer Bellatrix to Beatrix personally

semipetal · 29/07/2009 23:35

Mungo Jeffrey sounds like Mungo Jerry, or is that just me?
Ophelia Beatrix is ok

Tinker · 29/07/2009 23:36

No, you can't have Mungo Jeffrey.

janeite · 29/07/2009 23:37

Sorry but I don't like Mungo Jeffrey at all and agree that it sounds like Mungo Jerry.

I quite like your girl's name though.

plonker · 29/07/2009 23:38

Yep, I thought of mungo jerry too

Love Ophelia, very pretty

simplesusan · 29/07/2009 23:39

Ophelia is unusual and nice-like it.

Mungo-no sorry really don't like.

wrongun · 29/07/2009 23:43

Mungo sounds like a horrid word if you replace the 'u' with an 'o'.
Jeffrey is better as the first name.
Not a fan of the girl name. I do like Beatrice if that's an option.

skybright · 29/07/2009 23:47

Like Ophelia,sorry i don't like Mungo.

jellybeans · 30/07/2009 00:09

Like your girls name, really really dislike Mungo, hideous name, sorry.

zazen · 30/07/2009 00:15

Oh-feel-ya!

Mungo - as in Harry Potter's correctional school?
Getting the HP theme from Beatrix/ Bellatrix also.

Humm.... sorry.

jodie87 · 30/07/2009 00:19

i really like mungo think its a nice name

Vegemitelover · 30/07/2009 00:33

I think of sprouts when i hear Mungo. sorry.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 30/07/2009 01:01

Mary, Mungo and Midge.
Or am I just showing my age?

SarfEasticated · 30/07/2009 01:07

I think Ophelia has rather sad connotations after Hamlet...

How didn't I spot Mungo Jeffrey/Jerry? Must check for other family names now.

Nope, don't like Bellatrix. It sounds made up and we're not Potter fans.

Mungo is a dog's name surely?

sockmonster · 30/07/2009 10:53

replace Mungo with something less cruel and your names are perfect!

Montgomery is not as mean? Milo? Er.. anything but Mungo?

Personally I love the name Ophelia Beatrix

MamaLazarou · 04/08/2009 15:34

Ophelia is really lovely. Sorry about Mungo Jerry!

Cadelaide · 04/08/2009 15:36

What's happened with Ophelia? Everyone on MN used to hate it.

Re the sad Shakespeare connections, what about Juliet then? No-one ever says that about Juliet do they?

Mungo's just funny.

screamingabdab · 04/08/2009 15:56

You don't want to know.

sorry

Thunderduck · 04/08/2009 15:58

I like Ophelia but think Mungo is truly awful.

Thunderduck · 04/08/2009 15:59

I don't think that Beatrix works well with Ophelia though.

CountessDracula · 04/08/2009 16:01

I think Beatrix Ophelia is better than the other way round

Mungo is a dog's name
